Abstract

Jusant is a climbing game developed by Don't Nod, known for their narrative-driven games like Life Is Strange. In Jusant, players must ascend a tower in a science fiction setting where water is scarce. The game focuses on the realistic mechanics of climbing, with the player's rope serving as a companion throughout the game. The developers faced challenges in implementing the rope mechanics but ultimately created a convincing and meaningful gameplay experience. The game also features a unique and imaginative world, with a mix of organic and man-made structures, and emphasizes environmental storytelling. Jusant offers a balance between climbing and exploration, with players navigating both the tower's exterior and interior spaces. The game has left a lasting impression on players, who often describe it as a place they visited rather than just a game they played. [Extracted from the article]
